After having my Google Reader account for about three weeks and checking it almost every day, I can honestly say that it has helped me keeping up with new tools and issues regarding educational technology. I have now added two new feeds by CILC, both regarding content and professional development providers using VC technology.
Before adding any more feeds, I am now analyzing if they will be really helpful. I don’t want to have so much content, that it will be overwhelming and I’ll never get to read it all. The amount of new items has been declining from since I first added my feeds. So I will surely add some more if I find them to be good resources.Some of the new tools that I’ve learned about and I’m excited to try are:

As I mentioned in my previous post, I think the Google team should improve their sharing methods for their RSS reader. What they have now is ok, but they could do better. In the meantime I will keep checking my reader frequently and sharing interesting posts on Buzz.

Google Reader does take a bit of getting used to. I have found just devoting a page in iGoogle gives me a set of feed windows that are easier to view and manage.
